If you have only recently starting working with Joomla you will probably have experienced the pain of learning a new system. New terminology, new ways of doing things, perhaps even the web itself may be new to you. Then let these guides relieve some of that pain.

You should only register if you want to make changes to the information contained here. Also note that registration on this wiki is entirely separate from registration on our other sites, such as the [http://forum.joomla.org forum].

The Joomla Platform is a separate release of the framework on which the Joomla CMS is constructed. The next release of the Joomla CMS, codenamed "[http://www.joomla.org/announcements/general-news/5321-rediscover-content-the-vision-for-next-years-release.html Bowerbird]" will most likely be based on the 11.1 release of the Platform.

You don't need to join the [[Documentation Working Group]] to help us improve the documentation. Just [[Special:UserLogin|register]] on this wiki and get started. Feel free to fix any errors you find; take a look in the [[Cookie jar]]; or consider helping out in one of our mini-projects...

What's New?

If you are creating a new website, you should always use the latest version. Currently, this is Joomla CMS Version 3.4.1. Upgrading will be now be easier, read more about this on our release and support cycle page.

Joomla CMS Version 2.5 has reached End of Support (EOS). You should not be using this version for new installations.

This project focuses on the administrator Joomla! 2.5 Help screens and Joomla! 3.4 Help screens. Unless a Joomla! Installation is modified, all core component Help screens are being served from this wiki. The summary status of each Joomla! Help screen can be found in the previous links.</translate>
